System specs:

Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X-79
CPU: Intel i7 3820
RAM: 16GB Patriot (4×4 sticks)
GPU: nVidia GTX 660 ti 3gb EVGA superclocked.
OS: Win7 64bit.

Because I play full screen, I’ve only seen an error window once and it reported a kernel error 7 (???) before the window faded out. I’ve searched and there’s been no crash reports stored anywhere on my computer.

What happens:

I will be playing normally, on low settings, high settings, any settings at all with zero lag and a smooth 60 fps when the screen with go black, or sometimes red. I will continue to hear game sounds, skype (and still be able to talk in some cases), but am usually unable to alt tab out and have to power cycle the computer. On the few occasions I’ve been able to alt tab to the desk top, everything else on the computer is operating as normal and I was able to screenshot this one error message included below.

I appreciate the effort, but it didnt help.

Bump?

I started getting this same message today. Can’t play the game because every time I log in, all the graphics are dragging across the screen or just not there, then the game crashes.

I tried downloading the new Nvidia beta driver and nothing has changed.

Update
A simple hard reset of my laptop seemed to clear up the issue.

Bumping again, this seems to be an issue with the newest Nvidia drivers, as seen here:

arcadia, please come visit us at evga forums, your issue sounds like an unstable system.

Will do. Would you like me to copy/paste the OP?

Sure thing,
You might try uninstalling that Asus thermal stuff, it might be screwing with the video card in some way.

Kepler introduced a change to a certain register that causes certain tools to red screen the card, or make it flicker uncontrollably
